Chiklis Leads Border Drama Series “Coyote”

Michael Chiklis (“The Shield,” “Gotham”) will star in and executive produce the U.S./Mexico border drama series “Coyote” currently in development at Paramount Network, MacLaren Entertainment, Darkhorse, and Sony Pictures Television.

Chiklis will play Ben Clemens who, on the day of his mandatory retirement from the United States Border Patrol, discovers an illicit tunnel used to mainline black market goods into the United States from Mexico.

This soon puts Clemens in the crosshairs of the criminal mastermind he’s spent his career trying to destroy.

Josh Gilbert, Michael Carnes, and David Graziano will write and executive produce while Michelle MacLaren (“Breaking Bad,” “Game of Thrones”) is attached to executive produce and direct.
